CAIRO: Egypt's top prosecutor on Sunday referred ousted Islamist President Mohamed Morsi to trial on charges of inciting the killing of opponents protesting outside his palace while he was in office, the state news agency said.
The military ousted Morsi on July 3 after millions took to the streets demanding that he step down. He's been held incommunicado since. Despite other accusations by prosecutors, the decision on Sunday is Morsi's first referral to trial. No date was announced for the trial.
